The unmanned warship Reformist vanishes in a strike that should not have been possible.
No distress call.
No survivors.
No clear enemy.
Jambuan Sea becomes a battleground with unknown enemies.
In an era when the Republic no longer sends soldiers into battle.
Its wars are fought by algorithms. Its fleets sail without crews. Its defenses calculate, predict, and neutralize threats before a human finger can hesitate.
It was supposed to be the end of uncertainty.
As military command rooms light up across the capital, the first assumption is foreign sabotage. But the deeper the investigation goes, the more unsettling the truth becomes. The vulnerability may not lie beyond the Republic's borders
With the high-profile Ocean Shield naval exercise only days away, a single miscalculation could trigger international conflict. Or civil fracture. Or both.
An engineer must confront the flaw she once dismissed.
A defense chief must decide how much risk deterrence can tolerate.
A political leader must choose between stability and truth.
The Republic engineered a system designed to eliminate chaos.
Now chaos is learning how to use it.
The Unmanned Wars Book 1 Jambuan Sea Saga is a near-future techno-political thriller about artificial intelligence, insurgency, and the fragile balance between control and freedom.
